I live in Houston, TX, and have degrees in English and English literature. I've taught writing and composition (technical, general, and business, not the fun stuff) for both Penn State and the University of Phoenix On-line, and I've worked as a technical writer for thirteen years, including stints doing documentation for the submarine community, NASA, and a major computer manufacturer.

My favorite living authors are Terry Pratchett, Tim Powers, Tad Williams, Diane Duane, and Clive Barker. That should make anyone's head hurt really badly.

If you are reading Spirit of Redemption for the first time, then I highly suggest you read it to the end before you check out the forums, the wiki, or the fanart.

Change is a constant part of any universe and every character in this story changes, sometimes dramatically, over time. I'll leave it to you, the reader, to discover what happens. So please enjoy the story for what it is.
